Negative. Don't do it. Match the shades with the tinted windows instead

I've seen it done right looks sharp but not my style truck so I'm not sure what it would look like

I'm still new so I bought it with little research. That's why I just joined these forums for more advice and tips. How much better is the wetzel?

Anyone know what size the missing nut is in the middle of the pic? I was swapping the bd manifold in and noticed it's missing. Tia

Ordered a bunch of goodies Cognito UCA, Schaffer's Trans Fluid and 5w for the trans swap, some 5100 shocks and steering dampener, waiting on tie rods to come in stock at dmax store its been a month now ive been waiting. May just get the rare parts ones. also thinking about getting a banana pan and deep trans pan.

As it currently stands.. OOIDA currently has take FMCSA back to court over their "final rule" on grounds of infringement of the 4th amendment

So currently, thanks to the government's continuing increasing micromanaging/harassment, of the transportation industry...
my 07.5 LMM days on the road as a CMV are numbered.
ELD required by 12/16/17 or if I swap to AORDs I can run it to 12/16/19
This only effects drivers that run outside the 100mile radius..

And if either fail.. I'm required to carry paper logs if I move while the device is broken.. which rather ironically moronic of the system....

Tie rods and power window switch

The last couple of weeks I have noticed a wobble when going over a series of bumps - like a death wobble leftrightleftright...
My truck does not have a steering dampener and from what I have read from others it should have had one from the factory. I have the 4wd version and I see the empty mounting location for one.
So, my thought was that the tie rods were finally giving up on me because of the LRLRLR wobble. The only other components would be idler arm and steering arm. That was definitely one of the easiest jobs that I have done on this truck. Sprayed all the nuts (3 on each side) with PB Blaster and then went at it. It would have gone even easier with the proper size wrench on the inner rod, but my pipe wrench did the job just fine.
The power windows were sketchy on when they wanted to go up or down so I ordered a new power window switch and 5 minutes later the switch was changed out with a new one.
445569 miles on it now. First time replacing those items. I love this truck
